videor, supra oculuni vero inaculam oblongam albicanteni." Céphalothorax, which 

 is densely and minutely granular, is distinctly longer than broad behind with two 

 almost straight distinct groves; [he abdomen has "scutis paullo anteriora versus fracta" 

 and a row of 10 — 14 rather short, slender and obtuse hairs along posterior margin 

 of each tergite. The galea is short with about four short branches. The palps are 

 a little longer than the body, almost smooth and provided with short, slender and 

 obtuse hairs in addition to the tactile ones of the fingers; the trochanter is a little 

 longer than broad ; the femur, which has a short stalk, is 25 longer than broad ; 

 the libia, which is as long as, but broader than the femur, is about twice as long 

 as broad and "in latere inferiore fortiter, in exteriore latere levins arcualum". The 

 hand, which is distinctly ("non parum") longior and 15 broader than the tibia, 

 has the lateral outlines strongly convex, and is scarcely longer than the fingers, 

 which leave a long and rather wide space between them when closed. The claws 

 are simple. The head, first thoracic tergite, tip of the abdomen and the palps with 

 the exceptions of the fingers are blackish brown ("nigro-piceus"). The remaining 

 parts are lighter ("sub-fuscus") especially the second thoracic tergite, which is pale 

 ("cinerascenti-testaceus"), a median impressed blackish spot excepted. This odd- 

 coloured species (c?) from Pinang belongs probably to the ^^Lnphnchernes Sim." 

 group.

1901. E. Ellingsen (18.) pp. 206—208. 

 Two eyes; céphalothorax a little longer than broad with two almost straight 

 transverse stripes, of which the hinder is the deeper, almost smooth with short 

 obtuse hairs. The five (six) abdominal tergites bear lateral keels; tergites longitudi- 

 nally divided with the exception of the first and the last and each with a lateral 

 hair in front of the hindmost transverse row. Palps a little longer than the body, 

 almost smooth ; the femur as broad as trochanter with slightly convex margins 

 and about 3 times as long as broad; the tibia, which has a distinct stalk, almost 

 as broad as the femur with moderately convex sides; the hand is about 15 broader 

 than the tibia and as long as the fingers, which gape distinctly when closed. The 

 claws are simple. Borneo. 



8. Chelifer Hansenii Thor. 



1889. T. Thoreil (10.) pp. 600-603, tav. V, fig. 8. 

 Two eyes; the céphalothorax is distinctly longer than broad and provided 

 with a single median transverse stripe, which is "forti procurvo (in medio paene 

 recto)"; it is "densissime et subtiliter granulosus et pilis brevibus obtusis parce 

 sparsus". Abdominal tergites w^ith row of 12 marginal hairs and its apex with 

 tactile hairs. The galea extends onlj' a little beyond the terminal hair and bears 

 at least three short branches. The slender palps are smooth or granular and a 

 little longer than the body; the trochanter is posteriorly produced into a dorsal
